Chen Jiu was noncommittal about Yu Youyu's claim that he had gotten a big deal.
Three days passed very quickly. At dawn, countless students were crowding in front of the Imperial College gate waiting for the announcement of the rankings. As soon as today passed, I don¡¯t know how many scholars¡¯ hopes were shattered. They fell from heaven to hell, and decades of hard work ended. The loss of his reputation is really heartbreaking.
The sun was rising three poles, and there was no traffic in front of Taixue. There were only so many students. The key was that the students brought their families. There were white-haired old men and naive children. All of them looked at Taixue eagerly with expressions of expectation. gate.
People's hearts in front of Taixue were agitated. Seeing that it was almost noon, the closed door of Taixue was suddenly opened, and a group of soldiers escorted a middle-aged scribe out.
"The door is open."
"I know the result."
This voice was like a chemical reaction, suddenly causing the thirsty and tired scholars to stand up and rush towards the gate.
"Don't crowd, the results will be announced soon, everyone will know, don't worry."
The soldiers seemed to be able to understand the mood of these scholars. They did not take action and just stopped the crowd.
These soldiers are all martial arts masters, and they can still withstand the crowd.
The middle-aged scribe looked at the bloodshot eyes below with a look of unbearable expression. There are only a few places on the list every year. Tonight, I don¡¯t know how many scholars will suddenly lose their high spirits from the past.
The middle-aged scribe took out a bright scroll in his hand. With a sudden shake, the scroll flew out and hung in front of the three-foot-high Taixue gate. A one-foot-long list instantly opened.
With the rankings rising one by one. After spreading out, the faces of all the scholars became more and more serious, and then they turned pale and started to cry loudly.
Some people are happy and some are sad. The feeling of losing your reputation is really uncomfortable. People who have never experienced that feeling will never understand it. It is like the college entrance examination. What will it feel like if you lose your reputation? .
"Look, the first place is actually Chen Jiu."
"Wang Jinlun was second and Xie Yun was third."
"I didn't expect Chen Jiu to really suppress Wang Jinlun and Xie Yun. It's incredible."
"This is going to be a big change in Beijing. Chen Jiu is going to go against the grain. He really has real talent and knowledge, and is not what people call a idiot. Otherwise, An would be able to surpass Wang Jinlun and Xie Yun. You must know that those two are descendants of a big family. If How can we suppress these two clans without supreme literary thought?"
"That's right, that's right, someone must have deliberately tarnished Chen Jiu's reputation before."
"It's really insidious. We almost mistakenly blamed a good person. I didn't expect that someone would suppress the Wang Xie clan this time. Now I'm afraid the Wang Xie clan will have a hard time with it."
"That's it, when I see Chen Jiu, I feel confident in my heart again. The Wang and Xie clans are nothing special. They have been stepped on by others."
"Yes, yes, if we work hard, we may be able to get rid of the oppression of the Wang and Xie clans one day."
People say that people are fearful, Xie Mansion, Xie Yun suddenly overturned the table in front of him, his face flushed, and murderous intent emerged in his eyes crazily: "Chen Jiu, you are tired of living."
The voice was cold and murderous.
In the palace, Wang Jinlun listened to the servant's report with an expressionless face. He waved his hand expressionlessly to signal the servant to leave. The teacup in his hand had instantly turned into powder.
Min Nian fell with the wind, and a strange force suddenly descended on Chen Jiu from somewhere, trying to penetrate into Chen Jiu's body.
Chen Jiu held the black piece in his hand, and the little fisherman held the white piece in his hand. The two were playing a game. Suddenly, Chen Jiu trembled: "Is this the people's wish? It's so rich."
Chao Xiaoyu looked at Chen Jiu with clear black and white eyes, and obviously saw the supreme power surging around Chen Jiu: "Is this your plan? The Wang Xie clan will become your stepping stone. This cause and effect It¡¯s not easy to end.¡±
As long as Chen Jiu absorbs the people's wishes around him, he can directly absorb the power of people's hearts in this people's wishes without having to go through the training of being an official.
But at this moment, Chen Jiu hesitated. Feeling the strong power of people's will around him, Chen Jiu hesitated at the critical moment.
The people's wishes will fall with the wind. Only when they gain momentum today can they gather the people's wishes. Once they lose power in the future, won't these people's wishes turn into people's resentment and die from the backlash of karma?
At this time, Chen Jiu figured it out. No wonder those Confucian saints have to constantly emphasize righteousness, etiquette, law and human relations. I am afraid that those immortal saints who are comparable to taboos cannot withstand the backlash of the power of the people's resentment.
After absorbing this public grievance, all your actions in the future must comply with the regulations. Otherwise, if someone finds an excuse to attack you, you may die from the backlash of public grievances.
Mortal people are the most ignorant.?Chen Jiuan dared to entrust his destiny to the hands of others.
Chao Xiaoyu also thought about this at this time, staring at Chen Jiu closely, waiting for Chen Jiu to choose.
"All kinds of frosts are free. If I can't be free, I can't be happy with my grudges, and I'd rather be dead than alive. All living beings are ignorant. Is this the way the Confucian saints came up with to strengthen humanity? All Confucian saints must do their best to plan for humanity. Once the human race loses power, it will become a rootless source, and it will suffer from the resentment of the people even if it is not dead. Life is worse than death."
¡°Perhaps it is better to feel the realm of Confucianism through being an official than to directly absorb the power of people¡¯s wishes, but how much better can it be? .
This is simply a trap, a shocking situation set by the ancient human race, a situation that ensures that humanity will not fail.
"I, Chen Jiu, am destined to live forever in the future. How can I be bound by human nature? If I am bound, it is better to reincarnate."
Thinking of this, Chen Jiu's face relaxed for a moment, and he already had a choice in his heart. The chessboard in front of him flashed with light, and the power of the people's will turned into a torrent and rushed into the chessboard. The unrefined restrictions in the place he passed were instantly broken. .
With the help of this strong torrent of popular will, Chen Jiu took the opportunity to refine this strange chessboard.
"Chen Jiucao's reputation spread throughout the world, and he had long been a scum in the eyes of everyone. At this time, the situation was reversed, and he gained several times the power of the people's will.
The methods of the imperial court are unpredictable and immeasurable. If the news of the list is announced in Beijing, then the thirteen state capitals must also know the news and publish it to the world.
With the passage of time, more and more people know about it, and the power of people's wishes becomes stronger and stronger. A huge funnel forms in the sky above Chen Jiu's residence, constantly rotating in the sky, absorbing the power of people's wishes coming and going.
In the palace, Wang Mingyang's eyes flashed with an inexplicable color at this time: "Humanity, I don't know what your choice is, whether to escape fate or become the guardian of humanity. Being bound by humanity, you cannot be free."
Although Chen Jiu is usually docile, there is a trace of unruliness between his eyebrows. He is not the kind of person who accepts the mercy of fate.
One day, two days, three days passed.
Three days have passed, and the funnel of people's wishes above Chen Jiu's residence has grown larger and larger, sweeping over most of the upper capital.
In the palace, the Emperor Chen Huan's eyes flashed with inexplicable anger, and ripples appeared in the space around him: "Who is it? Who is scheming? It is really a crime that deserves to be cut into pieces, and the soul is scattered, and is banished to the Nine Netherworld."
Old eunuch Ma Rui looked at the Human Emperor's constantly fluctuating face, his eyes looking at his nose, his nose looking at his heart, motionless.
After a while, the Human Emperor looked at the funnel in the sky and said to Ma Rui: "Go and find out who is plotting this matter."
"Obey" Ma Rui's figure disappeared from the spot, the space fluctuated, and he didn't know where he went.
Xie Mansion, Xie Yun looked at the people's wish funnel in mid-air, with bursts of exclamation flashing in his eyes, and smacked his lips: "Hahaha, so what if you get the position of number one scholar, you don't have to become a living puppet and suffer You deserve to be manipulated by others."
Speaking of this, Xie Yun shuddered: "Fortunately, I didn't win this game, otherwise I would have been the one who was tricked. I am really lucky and blessed. I can escape this kind of thing. It's terrible." Well, humanity is really not that simple.¡±
As he spoke, Xie Yun happily drank a glass of wine and looked at the funnel of people's wishes in the sky. Once all his grievances were vented, he felt relieved.
In the palace, Wang Jinlun sat there quietly, looking at the funnel in the sky, his eyes getting deeper and deeper, as if he had encountered some difficult problem.
On this day, Shangjing was shocked. All those with cultivation could see the huge funnel that spanned half of Shangjing and was constantly rotating in Shangjing.
What is the population of Zhongzhou? , how much will the power of the people's wishes be gathered together? , no one knows that this power can reverse the universe, shatter time and space, and even avoid taboos.
